G. H. Hardy was a British mathematician renowned for his contributions to number theory and mathematical analysis. His collaboration with J. E. Littlewood produced significant results in mathematical theory, and his work on the distribution of prime numbers and analytic number theory has been influential in the field. Hardy's mathematical insights and rigorous approach have made him a key figure in modern mathematics.
"A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas."

"Pure mathematics is on the whole distinctly more useful than applied. For what is useful above all is technique, and mathematical technique is taught mainly through pure mathematics."

"There is no scorn more profound, or on the whole more justifiable, than that of the men who make for the men who explain. Exposition, criticism, appreciation, is work for second-rate minds."
